You got that right ! I hope Minnesota is a little more normal than the Left Coast here. The hypocrisy is a slap in the face. The "funny" (sad !) thing is it happened AGAIN at the same restaurant in Sonoma but with different politicians ! The wine bill was $13,000 ! The price of a new Alembic. Whew, I turned it back to bass...
Um.. MN is wierd... we can be shoulder to shoulder at a Walmart... can't go to a restaurant or gym... kids can't go to school
Covid is a smart one.it knows when ur sleeping.it know s when your awake.it know s if it time to sit down n eat n it knows what time we stop drinking.i don't know where they get their ideas but it's wiping out the non rich.
Stranger.... the Governor opened up outdoor dining. It will be -3 this week... if anyone wants to come on over for a frozen pizza, that's legal.
Yep in some places u can film about a packed church but not have singers or anything in a church even if it is six feet apart.all those outdoor sitting places for restaurants for not
So ... the Patriot I got a few weeks ago has neck problems. I've been working for days to get it setup and was just unable to get it right. Ski jump, twist, neck is just not going to cooperate. Finally today I took it in to a luthier shop that I use and they confirmed the neck is no good. Basically I have a $300 bass with a neck that needs at least that much to fix the neck, and no guarantee it can be fixed.
My best option is to find another Patriot, hopefully inexpensive and use it as a donor for the neck. My question is about fit. Can I assume that all Patriot necks fit all bodies?

I know! I liked that neck too. The nut width is thin like a Foundation, but the neck is much thicker which I like a lot. Plus it has that vintage tint color, and some nice figuring.
That is a Cirrus case. One of the Millennium basses I bought also came in a Cirrus case.
That is a beauty and I know you will love it. Congratulations.

That is beautiful. By market value, I'd say you got a very good deal, esp for a Plus with a case. As far as playability & sound - yeah, screaming deal. Love Mills.
You paid in the current market rate... I have noticed that the Plus (premium finishes) are selling a bit faster at a higher rate.
It took me a while to find a "church worthy finish" 5 last year... I think I paid like $550 for one that is gig rashed (used the body to mate with a GV neck)
Pretty bass... I miss the days I used to buy these all day long for $150-160
Oh WOW, I saw that ! You SCORED !!!!! I always figure that the case is a $100 added value, so you got that GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS bass for a great price, but regardless of that, you got an AMAZING bass !!
I've not used them, but hear good things....
FIX AN INSTRUMENT'S WARPED NECK
Let us know how this goes...
That's a bummer. 99.9% sure Patriot necks are interchangeable. However...
...try this. I know of a few necks from some friend's basses that have been serviced there and they all are still holding stable many years later. It costs about $100 round trip to fix it.
Was checking out the documentary "HIRED GUN" on Amazon Prime (2017) and near the beginning you see Rudy Sarzo sporting his Peavey Cirrus. It's an interesting show. Check it out, if you haven't already.
According to UPS tracking it’ll be here Christmas Eve (fingers crossed...). It’s going to be a GREAT Christmas if it shows up on time!
